This stunning seaside sanctuary near Balmedie Beach is a breath of fresh air.
Postcard perfect in every way, the stylish five-bedroom bungalow enjoys amazing uninterrupted coastal views.
It’s the incredible views and the peaceful yet central location which Carolyn Lamb will miss the most as she reluctantly puts her fabulous family home on the market.
“Perched by the beach, my home has long been a peaceful haven nestled within a breathtaking landscape, framed by the wide, open skies and the ever-changing sea,” says Carolyn, a mum-of-three.
“With its large full-length windows in the entrance, flooding the space with light, and an abundance of large windows in the sunroom that offer uninterrupted views of nature’s beauty, it feels as if the outside world is always a part of the home.
“It’s where my three boys were born and raised, their laughter echoing through the halls as we filled our days with sandy toes, seaside adventures, and stories by the fire.”

Inside, the home opens up with a bright and beautiful hallway which flows seamlessly into the contemporary kitchen/dining areas.

Designed for entertaining, the family/dining room is the ideal space to host guests.

Private and peaceful location…
Ideal for growing families, this wonderful home also has five sumptuous double bedrooms including a master bedroom with an ensuite shower room.
